"No, how long have I been unconscious!"
Su Wen subconsciously touched his head.
His hair had grown quite a bit since he lost consciousness; it must have been at least more than a month!
"Chirp~"
A nimble white baboon suddenly darted in through the wooden window, chirping excitedly upon seeing Su Wen wake up.
"Shh."
Su Wen quickly gestured for him to be quiet.
Judging by his appearance, Ma Xiaotao probably hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
He had been watching over him during his unconsciousness, and he didn't want to wake him so soon.
But things didn't go as planned.
Ma Xiaotao opened her sleepy eyes, her striking red hair slightly disheveled and draped over her shoulders.
Seeing Su Wen sit up, she was first startled, then rubbed her eyes and exclaimed in surprise,
"Xiao Wen, you're awake!"
She pulled Su Wen into her arms and held him tightly.
"Ugh."
Su Wen felt the two nascent headlights swaying, almost drowning in the waves, and struggled for a moment.
"Yes, I'm going to find Elder Mu!"
Ma Xiaotao released Su Wen and rushed out.
"I haven't even asked how long you slept."
Su Wen said helplessly.
"Chirp~"
Hurricane was excitedly sharing something with Su Wen, waving its arms and legs.
"You said the environment outside is very nice, with many ancient trees and all kinds of rare and exotic herbs.
You feel very comfortable here?" Su Wen was stunned for a moment, got out of bed, and looked out the window.
A wave of dampness rushed in, followed by an aerial view of the entire "academy."
From this vantage point, one could see the entire massive academy, demonstrating the high and central position Su Wen held.
"This couldn't be."
Su Wen was stunned.
The Sea God Pavilion!
"That's right, this is the core area of Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion, which will also be your home from now on."
A gentle voice came from behind him.

Su Wen turned around in surprise.
He saw Ma Xiaotao pushing a wheelchair, winking at him.
The old man in the wheelchair was thin and hunched, but his eyes were deep and kind.
"Elder Mu,"
Su Wen nodded slightly, his expression calming somewhat.
This place was indeed a secret stronghold of the Sea God Pavilion.
Even Huo Gua, in his early stages, had only been here once before the competition.
The Golden Ancient Tree was one of Shrek Academy's most core secrets.
He was currently within this Golden Ancient Tree.
No wonder his soul power had increased so quickly.
The surrounding spiritual energy was ridiculously dense.
Even lying down, he could still cultivate.
"Child, now that you've joined Shrek Academy, consider this place your home.
This mistake is entirely Xuan Zi's fault. I will severely punish him.
I hope you won't be disappointed in the academy because of this" Mu En said sincerely.
Judging from his posture, if he weren't so physically immobile, he would have stood up and bowed to Su Wen, his sincerity overflowing.
After all, he had investigated Su Wen but found no clues.
It was as if Su Wen had appeared out of thin air in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But that didn't matter.
As long as Su Wen wasn't from the Sun Moon Empire, or even if he was, he was confident he could make Su Wen like Shrek Academy.
So the most important thing right now was not to let this child lose heart.
Besides, risking the destruction of his own martial soul to buy precious minutes for these inner court disciples in danger showed that he was kind-hearted, exceptionally talented, hardworking, and had great courage.
He was practically a divinely appointed master of the Sea God Pavilion!
Ma Xiaotao had said before that the child's eyes were resolute at the last moment.
He would rather hold on until the Poké Ball shattered than give up until the very end.
Even an adult wouldn't have such perseverance.
(Actually, Su Wen was in so much pain that he went into shock and didn't even realize he had released the Pokémon.)
Speaking of Xuanzi, Mu En's expression also became more serious.
"Xiaotao, go and inform Shao Zhe to convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion."
"Yes!"
Ma Xiaotao left.
"Is your martial soul alright."
The wheelchair, though unpushed, slowly moved forward.
Mu Enci, with a kind and gentle expression, looked at Su Wen, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
She gently grasped Su Wen's arm, feeling the meridians and orderly soul power within his body, her expression becoming increasingly soothing.
"I'm fine,Elder Mu."
Su Wen opened his palm.
The small white ball disappeared from his sea of consciousness and appeared in his palm.
"Good, it's good that you're alright."
Mu Enci smiled and wrapped Su Wen's hand in her withered palm, slowly grasping the white ball, then patted his shoulder.
"Good boy, push me to the conference room, I'll show you the way."
"Okay."
Su Wen took a deep breath.
Finally, things were on track.
In the empty corridor.
Su Wen pushed Mu Enci forward, the two chatting along the way, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
However Su Wen knew that even if Xuan Zi committed a crime, he would never be expelled or dismissed.
Mu En would play the bad cop, intimidating Xuan Zi, while Yan Shaozhe and the others would automatically offer excuses and a way out to Elder Xuan.
In the end, a minor punishment would suffice, and that would be the end of it.
After all, in the original story, only four of the fifteen people who died remained, and Xuan Zi wasn't punished.
This time, with Su Wen present, no one died, and everyone returned, so naturally, Xuan Zi wouldn't be punished.
Su Wen was well aware of this.
If Xuan Zi were to be severely punished, he would be dumbfounded, wondering if the Shrek Academy's higher-ups were all brainless and if he was even worth staying at.
A powerful individual, second only to the current level 98 super strongman who severely injured Mu En, the vice-pavilion master of the Sea God Pavilion, and the first successor to the Sea God Pavilion master after Mu En's death—you're expelling him for a single act of dereliction of duty?
If Mu En were in good health, he might barely understand.
But now Elder Mu is like a withered leaf in autumn, ready to depart at any moment.
To cut off one's own arm at this time would be no different from being a fool. Xuanzi cannot leave.
Although this old man is unreliable, his combat strength is undeniable.
What he covets is Shrek Academy's overall combat power and resources; the former provides a stable cultivation environment for him in the early stages, something hard to find in the Douluo World.
If Xuanzi leaves, the entire Shrek Academy might be in turmoil.
Then the Holy Spirit Cult might target Ma Xiaotao, and after several more waves of "recruitment" at Shrek Academy, he might even be taken away.
In the blink of an eye, the two reached the end of the corridor, where an ancient door blocked their path.
"Push it open," Mu En said with a smile.
"Okay."
Su Wen stepped forward, and without much effort, the door was gently pushed open, revealing a conference room filled with people.
At least twenty or thirty elderly men cast their gazes, their eyes filled with expectation, kindness, gentleness, affection, and guilt.
Xuanzi saw Su Wen's figure, opened his mouth, then lowered his head.
Su Wen raised an eyebrow, indicating it was alright.
At this moment, a good scolding of Elder Xuan would only bring him personal satisfaction, offering no benefit whatsoever.
On the contrary, it would easily erase any guilt Xuanzi felt, making it a losing proposition.
Pretending nothing had happened and tacitly allowing Yan Shaozhe and the others to offer Xuanzi a way out would truly maximize his benefits.
Of course, ultimately, it was because his strength was too weak, and he was always hesitant.
Once he was strong enough he would definitely make Shrek Academy take his shape.
In his view,Shrek Academy had been glorious for millennia, but its roots, buried underground and unseen by sunlight, showed faint signs of decay.
